Latto-Latto dan Kembalinya Era Mainan Jadul

 Akhir tahun 2022 dan awal tahun 2023 ini, banyak isu dan tren baru yang mewarnai keseharian kita sebagai warga negara Indonesia. Salah satunya adalah mengenai permainan "jadul" bernama Latto-Latto yang menjadi sebuah tren di kalangan anak-anak saat ini, baik di kota maupun di desa. Mainan latto-latto ini sudah ada sejak tahun 1960-an. Awalnya bola latto-latto dibuat dari bahan kaca, namun karena mudah pecah dan membahayakan, bahannya diganti dengan plastik. Beberapa model ada yang menggunakan kayu. Konsep mainan latto-latto atau yang dulu dikenal juga dengan etek-etek ini sebenarnya cukup simpel. Hanya dua buah bola plastik yang disambungkan dengan tali, dan dimainkan dengan cara menggoyangkannya sehingga kedua bola itu bertumbukan dan menghasilkan suara khas. Permainan ini membutuhkan refleks dan ritme pergerakan tangan yang bagus agar gerakan bola latto-latto tetap terjaga. Seperti hampir semua permainan tradisional lainnya, keberadaan latto-latto sempat tersingkir oleh ...

The Chemistry Of Life

 It's already one and a quarter years since Senior High School life hit me. Although my overall experience is good, there is some struggle I have to conquer. One of them is the Chemistry class, a lesson that can be difficult to understand, but it's still interesting. It studies the components of matter and how they interact in a reaction. One of my favorite lessons in that class is something called stoichiometry. It's basically how you can balance a reaction so that the number of atoms in the reactants (the left-hand side) is the same as the number of atoms in the products (the right-hand side). For example, take a look at this propane combustion reaction: C3H8 (g) + O2 (g) -> CO2 (g) + H2O (g) This reaction is unbalanced. There are 3 carbon atoms on the left-hand side and only 1 on the right-hand side. The same happens to hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Now look at this reaction: C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) -> 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (g) Now everything is balanced. There are 3 carbon a...

Kertas dan Karet

 Jika selembar kertas diremas, kertas itu akan hancur, bentuknya tidak lurus seperti seharusnya selembar kertas. Kertas itu bisa diluruskan kembali seperti semula, akan tetapi bentuknya tidak akan sama persis seperti sedia kala, akan tetap ada bagian yang bergelombang.  Akan berbeda kalau bahan yang diremas adalah karet. Saat karet diremas, karet itu tentu akan berubah bentuk, akan tetapi kalau berhenti diremas, karet itu kembali ke bentuk semula karena sifatnya yang elastis. Mungkin kita sering mendengar bahwa hati orang itu sama seperti kertas, yang kalau sudah disakiti masih meninggalkan bekas, meskipun sebenarnya orang yang menyakitinya itu sudah berdamai kembali dengannya. Orang-orang yang seperti kertas cenderung memiliki hati yang kaku. Mereka cenderung memendam perasaan dendam terhadap orang yang telah menyakitinya karena mereka menganggap orang tersebut masih berniat untuk menyakitinya. Padahal belum tentu. Akan tetapi ada tipe orang yang seperti karet. Meskipun kata-...

Reinstalling...

Saya pernah mengalami pengalaman tidak enak. Saat itu laptop saya terinfeksi virus. Virusnya sangat kuat. Sudah di scan dengan antivirus yang kuat sekalipun, virus itu muncul lagi. Hanya ada satu pilihan.  Install. Ulang. Windows. Saat saya mau install ulang, Windows memberikan notifikasi pilihan apakah file yang ada di laptop itu tetap dipertahankan atau ikut terhapus juga. Karena laptop itu berisi banyak file penting, saya putuskan untuk pertahankan file itu. Jadi hanya sistem operasi nya yang di reset, tapi file lainnya tidak tersentuh. Ketika proses reset berlangsung, muncul screen yang saya selalu ingat. Bunyinya seperti ini:  "Reinstalling Windows. (sekian)%. Don't turn off your PC." Akhirnya laptopku berfungsi normal kembali setelah instalasi ulang. Setelah saya selidiki, ternyata virus itu berasal dari salah satu program bajakan, dan saya tidak ingin meng-install nya lagi. Banyak hal yang bisa kita petik dari kisah instalasi ulang Windows ini.  Yang pertama, seper...
